Biography
Abdul Rahman al-Hadlaq was appointed to the Ministry of the Interior of Saudi Arabia as the head of the Ideological Security Directorate, combating radical Islam within the country. In an interview with Vice News correspondent Suroosh Alvi, al-Hadlaq said that millions of Saudi youth had gone through the educational system and that they were very moderate, with so-called Wahhabis being against any kind of violence. al-Hadlaq said that the fact that 15 out of the 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi was a plan by al-Qaeda to destroy relations with the United States when confronted with the fact, and he also said that the Saudi royal family financing the Islamic State - whom he claimed was the number one enemy of Saudi Arabia - was highly illogical.
